This has to be the best heavy duty stapler around. We were using the Swingline 69270 heavy duty stapler and had far to many breakdowns with them and decided to purchase the Rapid 5080 and are very pleased with it's performance, besides the fact it's very quiet instead of the loud banging from the other one. They are a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Much better quality. It has a 2yr warranty as opposed to the 1yr from other one.

We no longer purchase the Swingline brand staplers. They used-to be the standard, but that is no longer the case. Swingline seems to be using very low quality parts. Their expensive heavy duty staplers only last about a year, sometimes less! This is what we started buying to replace all our Swingline staplers. This one has a lot of power. We haven't had any problems with ours and have purchased four of them so far.
